The day the Dems can take our votes for granted is the day we become ignored. They will either earn my vote, or maybe a 3rd party will. Remains to be seen. I'm done voting for Dems just cause they are "the lesser of two evils". Fuck that. I don't want to vote for evil at all! If I weigh all possible options and outcomes I may vote for a Dem, or maybe not. Sometimes I can tolerate a semi-crappy Dem like our new senator Kay Hagen cause it was to get rid of Elizabeth Dole who was just terrible - but Hagan will not get my vote next time most likely. It seems to me honestly like the only way to break the vicious Dem/Repub stranglehold on our politics is to go 3rd party - guess I'll assess the situation locally closer to election time - but indeed - nobody should feel like they HAVE to vote Dem - sometimes Dems suck - I'm looking at you Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln.
